I appreciate the comments, Requiem and Shura-
chan! Means a lot to me, especially coming from 
you two!! :) And I'm so happy you like him!

To Requiem: heck, no! As much as I'd like to keep 
your applause, I didn't do the lines in paint. My 
brush isn't that fine and my hands shake 
somethin' fierce. O_o They're inked, and for 
larger areas, inked and filled in with black 
paint. 

But I'm glad you like the glints on his earring. 
I always try to be all "creative" like that, even 
with tiny details. 'Try' probably being the key 
word here, but hey! ~_^

Thanks heaps again, you guys!! :D
